Texwipe TX2452 TexTra™ 10 is a thick, single-layer knit polyester cleanroom wiper designed to carry and control larger volumes of cleaning and disinfecting solutions while maintaining low-linting performance. In practice, it is the “workhorse” option when you need more liquid-holding capacity and abrasion resistance than a standard-weight knit—without stepping up to multi-ply formats.

The differentiator is the sealed-border edge strategy: it helps reduce edge-derived particle/fiber generation during aggressive wiping, especially on textured stainless, coated metals, and fixture surfaces where knife-cut edges can snag. TX2452 is commonly positioned for ISO Class 3–8 environments and for processes that benefit from consistent laundering controls, lot traceability, and predictable absorbency behavior.

Surface wiping and cleaning (benches, pass-throughs, carts, equipment skins), spill control, and controlled application/removal of process fluids (lubricants, residues, and disinfectants) where you want high absorbency, strong abrasion resistance, and edge control. Appropriate for use with common solvents (e.g., IPA, ethanol, acetone, degreasers) when the facility’s EHS compatibility review allows.

Use these drivers to match the wiper’s construction to your contamination risks and the way operators actually wipe (pressure, stroke length, dwell time, and solution load).

• High absorbency per sheet: Supports large-volume solution application and spill pickup with fewer wipers, which can reduce handling events in critical zones.
• Sealed-border edge strategy: Helps reduce edge fray and snagging on abrasive or sharp features, lowering the risk of fiber/particle release during high-pressure wipes.
• Cleanroom laundering + low extractables focus: Targets low NVR and controlled ionic profile for residue-sensitive steps (optics, metrology surfaces, inspection windows).
• Traceability discipline: Individually lot coded; aligns well with deviation investigations and line-clearance documentation when wiping is a controlled step.
• ISO range fit: Commonly referenced for ISO Class 3–8 applications; confirm by zone risk and your internal monitoring limits.

TX2452 is a knit, continuous-filament polyester wiper engineered to behave like a “high-capacity reservoir” without becoming floppy or shedding. Knit structures hold liquid in the loop architecture; the thicker basis weight increases solution carry and dwell time, which matters when you need wet contact to dissolve residues or keep a disinfectant film active across a full stroke length.

The sealed-border edge is the operational control: it reduces exposed filament ends at the perimeter—the zone most likely to abrade and generate debris during pressure wipes, corner turns, and detail work around fasteners, rails, and door hardware.

Size: 12" x 12" (31 cm x 31 cm).
Construction: 100% polyester knit; TexTra™ 10 variant uses a sealed border (TexTra™ standard is cut edge).
Basis weight (typical): 233 g/m² — heavyweight feel that supports solution loading and scrub resistance.
Absorbency (typical): 600 mL/m² sorptive capacity; ~0.3 second sorptive rate — fast wet pickup plus strong liquid-holding behavior for long wipes.
Cleanroom environment: ISO Class 3–8 (also commonly expressed as Class 1–100,000 / EU Grade A–D).
Shelf life (non-sterile dry, typical): 5 years from date of manufacture.

Framework: particles/fibers, NVR, ions. “Typical” values are a starting point for selection; qualification should align to your facility’s monitoring limits and the solvent system you actually use.

Particles and fibers (typical): LPC ≥0.5 µm: 4.2 x 10⁶ particles/m²; Fibers >100 µm: 60 fibers/m².
Nonvolatile residue (typical): IPA extractant: 0.04 g/m²; DIW extractant: 0.01 g/m².
Ions (typical): Sodium 0.15 ppm; Potassium 0.15 ppm; Chloride 0.10 ppm.

How to use this: If your process is residue-sensitive, treat NVR as the “silent defect driver” (haze, film, wetting anomalies). If your process is particle-sensitive, the sealed-border advantage typically shows up under operator pressure and abrasion, not in gentle wipes. For audits, tie your wiper selection to published test frameworks such as IEST-RP-CC004.3 and ASTM E2090.

Packaging: 100 wipers/bag; commonly packed as 2 inner bags of 50 inside the outer bag, supporting partial bag use while limiting exposure. Case pack is 6 bags/case (600 wipers total). SOSCleanroom also references double-bagging / bag-within-bag contamination control packaging for handling discipline in critical environments.
Traceability: Lot coding supports documentation, investigation, and line-clearance workflows.
Edge strategy: Sealed border targets reduced edge fray and snagging during abrasive wipes.

The goal is controlled removal without redeposit. Build technique around consistent contact, controlled solution load, and clean-face discipline.

• Quarter-fold discipline: Fold in mid-air into quarters to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces on a schedule (e.g., every stroke or every defined area) to avoid redeposit.
• One-direction strokes with overlap: Use straight strokes with 10–25% overlap; avoid circular wiping that can redistribute contamination.
• Manage solution load: For disinfectants, maintain a continuous wet film across the stroke length; for solvent cleaning, avoid over-wetting that can mobilize residues into seams and fastener heads.
• Edge-aware wiping: Lead with the folded edge toward the direction of travel; keep cut/unfolded edges controlled in the hand to reduce accidental “edge drag” on the surface.
• EHS basics: Validate chemical compatibility, ventilation, ignition controls, and waste handling—especially when IPA/ethanol/acetone are used as part of the wiping step.

Redeploying contamination: Reusing the same face too long turns the wiper into a transfer tool; fix with a defined face-rotation rule and area limits per face.
Residue haze or streaking: Often shows up when solvent load is too high or the wipe pattern pushes dissolved residue into low-evaporation corners; fix by reducing load, switching to controlled strokes, and validating rinse/wipe sequence if your SOP calls for it.
Snagging on sharp features: Even with sealed borders, aggressive wiping on burrs/threads can snag; fix by deburring hardware where possible and using a “detail wipe” technique (short, controlled strokes; do not hook edges around fasteners).
Scratch risk on sensitive finishes: Heavyweight knits can trap particles if the face is reused; fix by strict clean-face rotation and avoiding wiping across embedded grit.

Contec sealed-edge interlock knit polyester (high-sorbency class): Similar mechanism (continuous-filament knit + sealed edges) aimed at reducing particle/fiber generation while supporting spill pickup; packaging and cleanliness class positioning may differ by SKU and sterility configuration.

ValuTek laser-sealed polyester knit (NanoTek / laser-sealed edge class): Similar goal (edge control via laser sealing) in a knit polyester format; differences typically show up in laundering controls, published test data availability, and how the brand structures traceability/QA documentation.

TX2452 typically sits in the “high-load cleaning” slot: end-of-shift wipe-downs, equipment skin cleaning, solution application for larger surfaces, and spill response inside controlled areas. It is a strong match when your SOP requires consistent wet contact and you want to minimize operator-driven variability (snagging, fray, and rapid dry-out). For qualification, pair the wiper to your solvent/disinfectant list, define technique (folding, face rotation, stroke direction), and verify outcomes using your site’s particulate/residue monitoring approach.
